What is the smallest wire cut
hole?
What is the range of surface
finishes?
What wire sizes do you use?
Do you reuse the wire?
Does the wire touch the part?
The answer is dependent on a number of variables, however a rule of
thumb answer is approximately 0.018” diameter. However, with the right
conditions it may be smaller. Please contact
us when this is a
critical consideration.
Again the answer is dependent on a number of variables. The rule of
thumb answer is 0.012” diameter. Please contact
us to verify viability.
Our best wire cut finish is 10 micro inches. Finishes this fine are
material dependent.
Wire uses between 0.004” diameter and 0.012” diameter wire.
No, the wire breaks down and is not reusable but we do send it to
recycling.
No, the machining is done by electrical discharge “the spark”. When the
wire touches the part it produces a short circuit and cutting stops.
